Palestinian gunmen shoot man in Ramallah street
Three masked gunmen have executed a Palestinian man in the centre of the West Bank city of Ramallah on Thursday after accusing him of being a collaborator, witnesses and security sources said.
The three said they were from the Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades, an armed offshoot of Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat's Fatah movement, witnesses said.
"The guy had a mask on and had his hands tied behind his back," one witness told AFP.
"Before they shot him, they took off his mask. They then said he was a collaborator and we sentence him to death."
The trio fired around 10 bullets into the victim's back before fleeing shortly after 4:30pm (11:30pm AEST), witnesses said.
